"I will gladly enunciate each and every doctrine I support in the precise theological language, if that will help your disbelief in my Orthodoxy. I wouldn't want you to hang in doubt."

I'm not hanging in doubt about your Orthodoxy at all. You have said in the past that you are in a group which is not in communion with ECUSA or the ACC. Are you in communion with Rome or the Orthodox or Oriental Orthodox Churches? If not, why not? +Benedict XVI has written that outside of the Holy Roman Church and Orthodoxy, there isn't anything that can be properly called "The Church" or even "a Church", but rather are "ecclesial assemblies". By the way, personally I'm sure you are doing what you believe is right; I don't doubt that either.

It is my recollection that my Archbishop concluded letters of communion with the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church, but I do not know the date other than it was before 1995. We are not in communion with Rome because our congregations are not uniformly High Church and there remains much clearing away of prejudice built up over the centuries.

In Christ,
Deacon Paul+
